The legendary Miss Piggy at the Muppets Most Wanted premiere in 2014

After decades as a scene-stealing player in the Muppets troupe, it looks like Miss Piggy might finally be stepping into the spotlight on her own like never before.

Yes, 11 years after her last foray onto the big screen in the film Muppets Most Wanted, it’s been reported that a Miss Piggy movie is in the works.

And somehow, that’s not even the most exciting part.

You see, the news was revealed by Jennifer Lawrence during an interview with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers on their podcast Las Culturistas.

During the conversation, Jen revealed that she and fellow Oscar winner Emma Stone were co-producing a new film in which everyone’s favourite porcine icon would be taking centre stage.

Perhaps most excitingly of all, though, she teased that the project was being written by Cole Escola, who just won a Tony Award for their work in the much-loved Broadway play Oh, Mary!, which they wrote, and will be heading to the West End at the end of this year.

“I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just going to,” Jen told the hosts. “Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it.”
